After having lunch with Lu Jingcheng before coming back, Shang Yucheng changed his clothes and sat down, drinking tea while thinking about the evening.

She originally planned to use Ye Shen to lure out Lu Jingpeng, but Lu Jingpeng suddenly wanted to take Zhao Yilin with her, which disrupted her plan, if Zhao Yilin was present, then the evidence that she and Shu Qiang forged Lu Jingpeng's private meeting with other women would be self-defeating.

Is there any way to hold Zhao Yilin back and make Zhao Yilin absent?

Shang Yucheng thought about it, and suddenly had a bold idea, what would happen if Zhao Yilin saw Wu Hong?

She closed her eyes, silently smoothed through all the plans in her heart, and then dialed Shu Qiang's phone.

In the evening, Shang Yucheng changed into a newly made cheongsam, sat in front of the dresser and put on a pair of makeup meticulously, and when the driver knocked on the door, she got up and took her handbag and walked to the door.

Zhao Yilin got out of the car to greet Shang Yucheng, dressed in a pink cheongsam, and his complexion was a little dull. Fortunately, the smile on his face is bright, which can be regarded as adding a little color.

"Yucheng is so beautiful, the second brother is really a blessing." Zhao Yilin's words are not a compliment, but a sincere compliment.

"Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me." Shang Yucheng smiled and got into the car.

Aili Restaurant is not far away, Shang Yucheng raised his wrist to look at the time, eight o'clock, presumably Lu Jingcheng and they have arrived.

"Jing Peng told me that the second brother's furniture store is doing very well!" Zhao Yilin smiled and pulled up the homely routine, "Don't look at Jing Cheng's business on weekdays, but in the end, he is still a member of the Lu family, and he is very good at doing business." ”

Shang Yucheng said modestly, "It's all thanks to the guidance of my eldest brother and uncle that I got off to a good start." She pursed her lips and smiled, "That's why he specially invited his eldest brother and sister-in-law to dinner!" ”

Zhao Yilin said with a smile, "Could it be that if I eat a meal from my uncle, I also want to borrow Jingpeng's light?" I don't obey you when you say that. ”

The two laughed for a moment, and the car stopped in front of Avery Restaurant.

Shang Yucheng got out of the car first, and quickly glanced out of the restaurant window, but did not see Shu Qiang's figure. She walked in with Zhao Yilin without moving.

Sure enough, the Lu family brothers and Jia Wenxin have already arrived, but only Shang Yucheng, Zhao Yilin and Ye Shen have not arrived.

When Lu Jingcheng saw Shang Yucheng and them coming in, he hurriedly got up and pulled out the chair, showing a gentlemanly demeanor, and introduced Jia Wenxin and Zhao Yilin to know each other.

Zhao Yilin said with a smile, "Miss Jia must be very capable, please take care of our Jingcheng more." She turned her head to look at Lu Jingcheng, "In the past few days, I have seen my second brother go out early and return late, and I don't know what I'm busy with." The furniture store has opened, and you have hired Miss Jia to do the work. You should also take care of it and accompany Yucheng more. ”

Lu Jingpeng saw that Zhao Yilin said a few more words, so he coughed twice and said with a smile, "Jingcheng is also very capable, you don't understand business matters, don't make random ideas." ”

Although he spoke in a very gentle tone, in the end, Zhao Yilin lost face slightly, and she responded with a forced smile.

Lu Jingcheng saw that his eldest sister-in-law was embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law is right, I have indeed snubbed Yucheng recently, but fortunately, Yucheng is generous and doesn't care about me-" He raised his wine glass and looked at Shang Yucheng's eyes full of smiles, "Thank you, Miss Yucheng, for your support to me!" I'll have a toast, you're free. ”

After saying that, I drank it all.

Shang Yucheng shook his head with a smile and raised his glass to his lips.

"Before the guests arrived, the host opened the table—where is the rule?"

The ridiculous voice came from behind him, and Shang Yucheng couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Ye Shao." Lu Jingcheng raised his head and said hello, and said with a smile, "How dare you open a banquet before you arrive?" But every time you go to an appointment, you will be late, and this will be punished for drinking. ”

Ye Shen walked over and said as he sat down, "Yo! It's so complete today, but what's the reason? ”

"There's no reason for it." Lu Jingcheng said with a smile, "It's just a special banquet to thank Miss Jia for her dedication these days, and by the way, I just ask you to accompany me." ”

"Oh?" Ye Shen smiled and glanced at the people on the table, "In this way, I'm here to eat and drink for nothing today?" ”

Jia Wenxin smiled, "You still have less time to eat and drink for nothing?" No way! You have to return the table. ”

Ye Shen nodded, "Of course." When the time comes, you invite you for me, and I'll be the east. ”

Everyone chatted enthusiastically, and Shang Yucheng quietly glanced at the surrounding guests while talking to everyone. At this time, Shu Qiang wore a peaked cap and gently pushed the door and walked in, he casually glanced at Chaoshang Yucheng, and quickly turned his head away.

Shang Yucheng smiled and got up, "I'll wash my hands." ”

When he reached the corner, Shang Yucheng stopped and waited quietly. In less than a minute, Shu Qiang walked over.

"Miss Shang." Shu Qiang looked around vigilantly and said in a low voice, "I've already arranged it." ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "Wu Hong has arrived?" ”

Shu Qiang glanced out cautiously and said in a calm voice, "She's here." ”

Shang Yucheng glanced at Shu Qiang's gaze, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "How did you get her to appear here?" ”

Shu Qiang smiled, revealing the shrewdness of an honest man, "Of course, Mr. Lu can invite her." If Mr. Lu asked, Grandma Lu would probably be at a loss. Shu Qiang lowered his voice a little lower, "Zhao Yilin sent someone to follow Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu has already noticed it." ”

"So no matter how much you doubt, you can't doubt us. Shang Yucheng smiled, "It's hard work." You be careful not to be discovered. ”

Shu Qiang nodded, turned around and walked out.

"Miss Shang." Ye Shen suddenly appeared around the corner, with a smile on his face, put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked in front of Shang Yucheng, and then suddenly turned his head and glanced at the door.

Shang Yucheng's heart jumped suddenly, could it be that he had discovered something?

Ye Shen had bumped into Shang Yucheng and Shu Qiang twice, would he recognize Shu Qiang?

Or, did he hear something?

"Mr. Ye." The corners of Shang Yucheng's mouth lightly drew a smile, nodded slightly, and walked towards the seat.

Ye Shen turned around and followed her, "I heard Jing Cheng say that Miss Shang came back from the United States?" ”

Shang Yucheng stood still and turned his head slightly, "Didn't Mr. Ye go to the bathroom?" ”

Ye Shen smiled and turned his head to look at a woman who came in at the door, "If I go to the bathroom, won't I miss a good show?" ”

After he finished speaking, he chuckled lightly, walked over to the person who came in, and called out in a loud voice, "Miss Wu? ”

Shang Yucheng didn't know what he was going to do, so he was a little unable to react for a while, and stood on the ground in a daze.

Everyone at the table heard Ye Shen's voice and looked up.

Wu Hong glanced at the situation in the restaurant, and probably felt that something was wrong, her face tightened, and she turned around to leave. Ye Shen stopped her, still smiling, "Miss Wu is in a hurry to leave just now?" Our old friend is sitting right there. Ye Shen turned his face to look at Lu Jingpeng.

Although Zhao Yilin had heard Wu Hong's name, he had never seen her, and at this time, he finally reacted when he saw Wu Hong's extremely unnatural gaze at Lu Jingpeng.

Although Zhao Yilin's personality is a little submissive, he is not tactful, and at this time, his face turned white uncontrollably, looked at Wu Hong angrily, and then turned his head to look at Lu Jingpeng, with an expression of disbelief but sudden realization.

The moment Lu Jingpeng saw Wu Hong, his face sank.

Shang Yucheng stood a few steps away, calmly watching everything that was happening in front of him, and said nothing.

Wu Hong pushed Ye Shen away violently, turned around and ran out.

Zhao Yilin gritted his teeth and got up with a cold face, "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll leave first." After speaking, he got up and walked out under the stunned gaze of everyone.

Lu Jingpeng probably didn't expect Zhao Yilin to embarrass him in front of everyone, so he was stunned for a moment before he got up and chased out, "Yilin!" ”

When passing by Ye Shen's side, Lu Jingpeng turned his head and glanced at Ye Shen, his expression inexplicable.

Ye Shen innocently watched them walk out, and then reflexively walked back.

Shang Yucheng also returned to his seat and sat down, and said to Lu Jingcheng with a worried expression, "Big brother and sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Jingcheng frowned and looked at Ye Shen, "How could Wu Hong appear here?" ”

Ye Shen shook his head, looking puzzled and inexplicable, "Didn't Jing Peng invite her here?" ”

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with that Miss Wu? Jia Wenxin looked at this and that, and asked crisply.

Shang Yucheng shook his head and said he didn't know, and only looked at Lu Jingcheng.

Lu Jingcheng hesitated, "You guys eat first, I'll go back and take a look." ”

After saying that, he stood up, took out the wallet from his pocket, took out a few bills and put them on the table, and hurried away.

Ye Shen's eyes swept over Shang Yucheng's face, then he smiled, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, "Waiter!" ”

Ye Shen insisted on spending all the money left by Lu Jingcheng before he was willing to leave, Shang Yucheng was worried that Jia Wenxin would see the clues, and he didn't dare to insist on leaving, until Jia Wenxin couldn't help Ye Shen's persuasion, and fell asleep on the table with a red face, then frowned and said, "Mr. Ye, Miss Jia is drunk, let's go back early." ”

"Miss Shang doesn't have anything to say to me? For example-Ye Shen smiled, thank you? ”

Shang Yucheng said, "Mr. Ye, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

Ye Shen looked into her eyes, "Why should Miss Shang deny it?" Could it be that the farce just now was not directed by Miss Shang? He smiled and shook his head slightly, "I just played a scene for you, and you turned your face and didn't recognize people, isn't it too ruthless?" ”

Shang Yucheng looked away lightly, "Mr. Ye, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, it's not early, forgive me for missing me." ”

After speaking, Shang Yucheng stood up.

"That Mr. Shu is a well-known private detective in Shanghai." Ye Shen didn't stop her, just said a word slowly, and stopped Shang Yucheng's footsteps.

Ye Shen looked up at Shang Yucheng, who was trying his best to maintain a calm expression, and smiled slightly, "Miss Shang won't be naïve enough to be so naïve that no one will recognize him, right?" ”

Shang Yucheng's heart sank, and he turned his head to look at him, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Ye Shen shook his head, "It's not interesting, what does Miss Shang think I mean?" ”

Shang Yucheng looked at him and suddenly smiled, "Although Jing Cheng and I have always had a good relationship, but I didn't know much about the Lu family not long after I came back from the United States - presumably Mr. Ye also knew that my parents died early, so I always have to take care of myself." Since you are talking about marriage with Jing Cheng, it is not a great fault to ask Mr. Shu to understand the background of the Lu family, right? ”

Ye Shen also smiled, if he didn't listen to their-for-tat words and only looked at the expressions of the two, it seemed that he was discussing something very pleasant.

"I knew you were going to quibble." Ye Shen chuckled and sighed, "But even if that's the case, if the Lu family knows that you, the future daughter-in-law, asked someone to investigate them, I'm afraid they won't be happy, right?" ”

He glanced at him lightly and approached Shang Yucheng in a low voice, "As far as I know, the Lu family has a lot of things that can't be put on the table." ”

Shang Yucheng also showed a harmless smile, "Oh? What's that? ”

Ye Shen saw that the two of them had spoken to such an extent, and Shang Yucheng still didn't forget to take his words, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Shang Yucheng looked calm, "Yucheng is ignorant, which makes Mr. Ye smile." ”

Ye Shen smiled and gave a thumbs up to Shang Yucheng, "It turns out that Miss Shang is so interesting, no wonder Jing Cheng is so affectionate to you." ”

After a pause, he suddenly smiled, "Miss Shang plotted these things behind his back, doesn't she feel a trace of guilt for him?" ”

Shang Yucheng's face froze, and he said with a straight face for a while, "What is Mr. Ye talking about, forgive me for being stupid and not being able to understand." She clenched the handbag she was holding, "Yucheng is too drunk, please let me go first." ”

With that, she turned and walked towards the door.

"If Miss Shang understands what I said, remember to call me. I think Miss Shang must have a way to get my phone number, right? ”

Shang Yucheng heard the voice with a smile behind her, and she seemed to feel Ye Shen's sharp eyes following her, calling her like a man's back.

When he got home, Shang Yucheng kicked the high heels on his feet aside, and then sat down on the sofa with a solemn face, pressing his temples with his hands, trying to recall every meeting with Ye Shen.

The clothes on his body stuck to his skin, making Shang Yucheng feel uncomfortable. Only then did I realize that I was actually sweating.

Ye Shen.

Shang Yucheng silently recited this name in his heart, and his fingers gently tapped the sofa on both sides of his legs irritably, what kind of person are you?

However, judging from the current situation, he is not on the opposite side of himself, and Fang Cai's actions in the restaurant are the best proof of this. Otherwise, even if he saw through Shang Yucheng's plan, he wouldn't have to open his mouth to let himself get involved—what was his purpose?

and his half-truths and half-falsehoods, 'The Lu family has a lot of things that can't be put on the table'. Is this a reminder, or a warning?

After thinking about it for a long time and having no clue, Shang Yucheng stood up and walked to the window with a heavy heart, and looked at the Lu family's mansion outside the window.

The arrival of darkness also brings some tranquility, but how long can this tranquility last?
